If I
said that I loved you,
what would you say?
And if you truly understood my meaning,
how would you react?
I have said that I loved you,
but you thought I meant it in some other way.
And I've never bothered to correct you.
If I said that you were part of my soul,
you know, the important half that makes a whole,
how would it make you feel?
And if I showed you how vulnerable I really am,
would you even notice?
I couldn't say it,
not even once,
but I've tried hard to show it to you.
And it crushed me when I was ignored.
If I said that I was afraid of you,
afraid of your rejection and judgement,
would I lose status in your eyes?
And if I kissed your lips,
because I've always wanted to know how you taste,
would you feel shame?
I could never stand the rejection,
but I've always wanted to know what could be.
If only I was stronger...
I don't think I'll ever find out.
